About Belinda Carlisle in brief
Belinda Jo Carlisle is an American singer, musician, and author. She gained fame as the lead singer of the Go-Go’s, one of the most successful all-female bands in history. Carlisle’s autobiography, Lips Unsealed, published in June 2010, was a New York Times Best Seller and received favorable reviews. Her father abandoned their family when she was five years old, and she has stated that she spent most of her childhood impoverished. Her mother later remarried Walt Kurczeski, who Carlisle says was an alcoholic, and with whom she had a tumultuous relationship. She was named after her mother’s favorite film, Johnny Belinda. Carlisle was the first of seven siblings; she has three brothers and three sisters. Her first venture into music was in 1977 as drummer for the punk rock band the Germs, under the name Dottie Danger. However, her time in the band was short due to her contracting mononucleosis and she never recorded or performed live with theGerms. She co-founded the Go Go’s with fellow musicians Margot Elavarria, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine, and Gina Schock. The group was formed in 1978 and helped popularize new wave music in the United States. The Go- go’s have sold over seven million records worldwide. After the dissolution of the band in 1985, Carlisle went on to have a successful solo career with radio hits such as \”Mad About You\”, \”I Get Weak\”, and \”Leave a Light On\”, and “Heaven Is a Place on Earth’”.
